Traeger, known for pellet grills, has entered the gas‑griddle market with its new Irontop line. The two‑burner and four‑burner models promise larger cooking surfaces than the earlier Flatrock series while keeping prices lower. Retailers will ship units starting May 15 for $500 and $600 respectively in the United States and Canada, offering backyard chefs a budget‑friendly alternative to premium griddles.

Irontop griddles feature fast preheating, precise temperature control, and edge‑to‑edge heating, all backed by a food‑safe, rust‑resistant coating that only needs simple seasoning. Traeger claims the heat distribution matches that of its pricier Flatrock models, while integrated wind guards keep performance stable in gusty conditions, making them reliable for outdoor kitchens regardless of weather today.

Each Irontop sits on a four‑caster cart and includes two side shelves plus a larger bottom shelf for storage. The side racks hold Traeger’s Pop‑And‑Lock accessories, while hooks on each side fit spatulas and other griddle tools. The design keeps cooking space open and organization tight, making the unit a practical choice for weekend brunches.

Alongside the Irontop, Traeger launched two new Westwood smart pellet grills starting at $700, expanding its affordable lineup. These moves signal the company’s push beyond pellet technology into versatile gas appliances that cater to budget‑conscious grillers. Traeger’s strategy positions it as a competitive alternative to mainstream outdoor‑cooking brands for consumers seeking quality without premium pricing.
